  1. The History of Operating Systems Marko Zivkovic Computer Science Department CS561 Illinois Institute of Technology 2014

  2. What is an Operating System? “Anoperating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware  resources and provides common services for computer programs. “ - Wikipedia

  3. Why do we need Operating Systems? • We have hardware, but how to control it? • Mainframe computers • Hardware – Command Line – Graphical User Interface

  4. Where everything started? • Mainframes (1950) • Primitive conceptions of Operating Systems • Punching Cards (1725) • Magnetic Tapes (1950) • Programs “Done or Crash” • Alan Turning IBM 7090 – Mainframe Computer

  5. First Real Operating System is ? • GM-NAA I/O, produced in 1956 by General Motors Research Division • System/360 computers with OS/360 and DOS/360 • Operating System blossom • Scope, MACE, Kronos, EXEC, MCP, etc. (1960 -1967)

  6. More Operating Systems • Plato System in late 1970s (Real Time Chat) • Multics MIT (Security Levels) • UNIX OS, Bell Labs (1960, portable, in C, main OS for Bell Labs) • MOS home computers, 8bit • Commodore 64, Atari, Apple II Series, Spectrum 1980 (8 bit home comps) • Geos, CP/M (The most successful at that time)

  7. The invention of Microprocesors • Inexpensive, Interchangeable components • Widespread and Start of PC era • MSDOS 1.0 – Microsoft and IBM-PC (1981) 16 bit, • X Window OS – Unix like (since cost of components deceased) GUI • Widespread of GUI ( Apple, Windows, Amiga, Atari ) • “Windows Empire” started 1989

  8. Windows Operating Systems

  9. Apple Operating Systems OS X Mavericks -2013

  10. Unix Operating Systems • Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie -- Bell Labs 1969 • 4TH edition in C, portable OS 1973 • Mostly used in Bell Labs by 1975 • Solaris, AIX, XP-UX • Internet, Server, Networks • Apple Mac OS certified to Unix 03 Kernel

  11. Linux Operating Systems • Linus Torvalds created MINIX 1991 • Free, Open Source • First Linux Kernel September 1991 • Small and medium size operations
